necessary in accordance with applicable laws.
On the closure of your account, we may keep your data for up to 5 years
after you have cancelled your services with us. We may not be able to

obligations. We assure you that your personal data shall only be used for

Who has access to your personal data?
Here is a list of all the ways that we may use your personal data and how
we share the information with third parties.

We process your data for administration, billing, support and the provision
of services.

Third Parties
For the avoidance of doubt, we do not and never shall sell your personal
data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
We may pass your personal data to third parties for the provision of
services on our behalf (for example processing your payment or drop
shipping). However, we will only ever share information about you that is
necessary to provide the service.
We may share your information if we are acquired by a third party and
therefore your data will be deemed an asset of the business. In these
circumstances, we may disclose your personal data to the prospective buyer
of our business, subject to both parties entering into appropriate
confidentiality undertakings. Similarly, we may share your personal data if
we are under a duty to disclose data in order to comply with any legal
obligation or to protect the rights, property, or safety of hifiSSB, our
customers, or others. This includes but is not limited to exchanging
information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of
fraud protection, credit risk reduction and dispute policies. However, we
will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue
to be protected.

Your rights
In preventing the use or processing of your personal data, it may delay or
prevent us from fulfilling our contractual obligations to you regarding any
orders still outstanding. It may also mean that we shall be unable to
provide our services or process the cancellation of any existing service or
order.
You have the right to object to our use of your personal data, or ask us to
delete, remove or stop using it if there is no need for us to keep it. This
is known as your right to be forgotten. There are legal and accountancy
reasons why we will need to keep your data, but please do inform us if you
think we are retaining or using your personal data incorrectly.
Our Privacy Notice shall be made clear to you at the point of collection of
your personal data.
You can view, edit or delete your personal data through the hifiSSB account
form.
You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for
marketing purposes. If you choose not to receive marketing communications
from us about our products and services, you will have the choice not to
choose these by ticking the relevant boxes situated on the pages either at
sign up or in your control panel.
We will not contact you for marketing purposes unless you have given us
your prior consent. You can change your marketing preferences at any time
within your hifiSSB account or by contacting us.

Accessing and updating your data
You can maintain the accuracy of your information and ensure all your
details, including but not limited to, name, address, title, phone number,
e-mail address and payment details are kept up to date. You can do this by
updating your personal details within your hifiSSB account.

processing and storage of any personal data. By providing your data to us,
you agree to this transfer and storage. However, we will ensure that

secure, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our
site and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your
information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to
prevent unauthorised access.
Any sensitive data (payment details for example) are encrypted and
protected.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables
you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping
the password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
